Vehicl e ke y
The key has a mechanically coded hinged bit for the
lock cylinder in the driver’s door and the tailgate/
boot lid. The transponder function is integrated into
the electronics and also works without a battery.
An integrated battery powers the electronics for the
radio remote control and Advanced Key functions.
A new feature here is the bi-directional data
exchange between the radio-control key and the
control unit for access and start authorisation via
the antenna for central locking and anti-theft
warning system R47. This is used to transfer the
status of the central locking system into the key.
If a button outside of the function range of the key
is pressed, the LED integrated in the key shows the
lock status of the vehicle. The lock status displayed
is always the status, which was achieved using this
key when central locking was last actuated.
If the vehicle is opened or locked in the interim
period using a second key, this does not change the
lock status in the first key.
Furthermore, the radio frequency is changed from
433 MHz to 868 MHz for the first time in many
countries. This radio frequency is ideal for data
communication between vehicle keys and the
control unit.
Since this frequency can only be used for very short
transmission pulses, any interference from
long-term radio transmitters, such as baby phones,
wireless headsets, etc. is eliminated.

Multimedia Interface (MMI)
Equipment versions
As in the current Audi A8 ’03, the MMI operating
concept is now also integrated as standard in the
new Audi A6 ’05. Data is transferred between the
individual Infotainment control units via MOST bus
technology and the process is technically identical
to the Infotainment system in the current
Audi A8 ‘03. Driver-relevant functions, such as
on-board computer or navigation, are displayed in
the centre display of dash panel insert J285.
Selected functions for the telephone, radio and
CD control and volume control can be operated
using the multi-function steering wheel.Unlike the current Audi A8 ‘03, several versions of
the control unit for the front display unit J523, the
master control unit in the optical Infotainment bus,
are installed in the Audi A6 ´05, depending on the
optional equipment selected.
The Basic, Basic Plus and Basic Navigation versions
have the same hardware platform, which is
expanded to include the required optional extras.
The MMI High version, on the other hand, uses the
same hardware as the current Audi A8 ‘03.
Furthermore, the data bus diagnosis interface J533,
which assures communication with the other
networked components in the vehicle, is connected
to the MOST bus.
Infotainment
Note
Information on the MOST bus can be found in
the SSP 286 – New data bus systems,
LIN, MOST, Bluetooth.Reference
For information on the Infotainment system
with optical data transfer, please refer to the
SSP 293, Audi A8 ’03 – Infotainment.

MMI Basic
Standard equipment in the new Audi A6 includes
MMI Basic with the MMI operating concept, a
7" monochrome display (J685) in the dash panel
inser t as well as an integrated, analogue radio tuner
and 4x antenna diversity, CD drive and a 2x20-watt
amplifier.
In principle, these drivers are available in all
versions of the control unit for front
information J523.
In the MMI Basic version, the loudspeakers that are
integrated into the front doors are connected
directly to the control unit for front
information J523.
If the Standard Sound System or BOSE option is
installed, this internal amplifier is deactivated via
coding. The loudspeakers are then connected to the
relevant digital sound package control unit J525.Digital tuner technology will be available in the
Audi A6 at a later date. Depending on the market in
question, a satellite radio receiver or a receiver for
terrestrially emitted, but digitally coded
transmissions will then be available.

equipment. If a relevant option is missing, simply

MMI Basic Plus
As an option, the MMI Basic system can be
equipped with additional functions in the radio and
sound field in the form of a "Plus" version.
This includes, for example, a TP Memo function,
which enables the recording of traffic
announcements for a duration of eight minutes in
total.
A programmable recording period can be used to
provide up-to-date traffic announcements before
starting a journey. Stored traffic messages are
automatically deleted after six hours to ensure that
they are always up-to -date. Instead of the integrated
amplifier, the standard sound system with its own
digital sound package control unit J525 will be used
as standard as of this MMI version.
The internal amplifier can be deactivated via coding
in this and later MMI versions.

MMI Basic Navigation
The MMI Basic Plus is available on request with a
basic navigation function. For this purpose, a
navigation module is integrated into the
information control unit J523. Optical route
guidance is provided on the central display in the
dash panel insert. The destination is entered using
the MMI operating system with its central knob/
pushbutton.
Audible directions for route guidance are also
output via the sound system.
The data required for navigation is read in via the
integrated CD drive.
